Hi, Namrata I want to know in WordPress how i will create a employee and employer id box for sign in, sign out and sign up same like monster.com, naukri.com and many others. Please help me in this. regards Prateek Seth

Hi Prateek, Ideally, even if you have a single login form, you should restrict content access using Roles. If you wanted to create separate login forms, you can check out the wp login form function. You can add a check for user role by using the wp_authenticate_user filter.
